00:00And for the first time in Philippine history, a sitting vice president has been impeached

00:05by the House of Representatives.

00:07This comes after the lower house moved to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte with 215

00:14lawmakers voting to approve the seven articles of impeachment against her, citing various

00:19grave allegations.

00:21The move sets the stage for a Senate trial that could determine whether Duterte will

00:26be convicted or acquitted.

00:28The impeachment complaint against Duterte revolves around six major allegations, which

00:33includes alleged conspiracy to assassinate the president, first lady, and the House

00:38Speaker, malversation, bribery, and corruption.

00:42Ours is a congress that does not shy away from its responsibility to our people.

01:06We are not here to protect the powerful.

01:09We are here to serve the people, to stand for what is just, and to ensure that no one

01:17is beyond the reach of the law.
